loves making products, mostly mobile, web, and design.
Experience
- ReturnQueen (2024-): working on the Mobile App with React Native, web app with React and backend with Elixir and Phoenix.
- IndiePaper (2021-2022): built and lauched an entire self-publishing platform for self-published authors, wound it down due to lack of customers.
- Buy Me a Coffee (2020-2021): part of the team that rewrote the mobile app into React Native.
Projects
- LessPhone: distraction free android-launcher, created as 19 y/o, scaled to 250,000 users.
- CoronaRM: built the first CRM for managing Covid patients, at peak was helping make 8,000 calls per day.
- Ultron OS: built as 16 y/o, fully bootable OS built in high-school.
Problems I care about
- Moving money is slow: Cross-border and domestic payments should not take more time to settle than a suitcase full of cash on a flight.
- Access to clean, safe and abudant energy: Humans should have access to almost-free, abundant and clean energy. Nuclear might be an answer.
- Reversing climate change: Climate change is here, we missed the boat to stop it, we should be looking for ways to reverse it.
Collections
- Obsessive: People who were obsessed with things that had a net positive outcome for everyone.
